In Damara's land, where snowflakes dance,
King Dragonsbane did sternly glance.
"Adventurers bold, hear my decree,
Vassa's monsters be gone, for a hefty fee!"

In taverns and inns, the word did spread,
"Monsters aplenty, be not afraid!"
With swords and spells, they came in droves,
To tackle Vassa's forested coves.

"Our King's own coin, shiny and bright,
For every beast that's slain in the night!"
The bards did sing with a merry jest,
"Who'll rid the land of its scaly pest?"

With dragons, ogres, and goblins galore,
Adventurers tripped and tumbled o'er.
In Vassa's wilds, where shadows creep,
Some found treasure, others just sleep.

A wizard tried to charm a dragon,
But ended up in a fiery wagon.
A rogue, so sly, with stealth and grace,
Lost his boots in a wild chase.

Yet bravely they fought, with might and main,
For King Dragonsbane's profitable gain.
In Vassa's land, where tales are spun,
Monsters flee and heroes run.

In Damara's court, the King did smile,
"Vassa's safer, for a little while.
Thanks to brave souls, both near and far,
Here's your gold, and there's the bar!"
What do you do?

In Damara's realm, 'neath northern skies,
King Dragonsbane with twinkling eyes,
Proclaimed a quest, both bold and grand,
"To rid Vassa's beasts, bring peace to the land!"

The word spread fast, from east to west,
Adventurers came, seeking wealth and jest.
With bows and axes, spells and might,
They dreamt of glory and epic fights.

"Our king will pay for each monster's head,
Be it alive, or better yet, dead!"
In every corner, in every nook,
The call was answered, the challenge took.

In Vassa's depths, where shadows reign,
The creatures stirred, sensing the game.
Wolves and wyverns, bears so tall,
Adventurers faced them, one and all.

A bard with a lute, sang to a bear,
Hoping for friendship, a pair so rare.
The bear just yawned, and with a swipe,
Sent the bard flying, pipe and type.

A mighty warrior, strong and proud,
Boasted loudly, to the crowd.
"I'll slay ten dragons before the morn!"
But tripped on his cape, and faced scorn.

In forest deep, and river wide,
Adventurers searched, with eyes open wide.
Some for glory, some for greed,
Each one driven by their own creed.

A sorceress, with spells of fire,
Sought a wyvern, her desire.
But her spell fizzed, with a splutter and cough,
The wyvern chuckled and took off.

Two rogues, both sly and quick,
Chased a goblin, thin and slick.
Through the woods, they danced and dashed,
But lost their prize, in the underbrush splashed.

Yet, amidst the chaos, heroes did rise,
Bringing peace under the northern skies.
King Dragonsbane's chest of gold did dwindle,
As he paid each hero, simple and kindle.

In Damara's halls, the King did jest,
"Our lands are safe, thanks to the best.
For each monster slain, a story to tell,
In Vassa's wilds, where the brave fell."

The adventurers, rich with gold and fame,
Left Vassa's lands, spreading their name.
King Dragonsbane smiled, his mission complete,
"Until next time, when monsters we'll meet!"
What do you do?

In the heart of Damara, under skies so blue,
King Dragonsbane had a thought, fresh and new.
"To clear the lands of every beastly foe,
I'll need brave souls, to where wild winds blow!"

In taverns lively, the call was heard,
"Monsters beware, we're coming, word for word!"
Adventurers gathered, a motley crew,
Some were brave, and some just flew.

"A dragon there, a troll under the bridge,
Wipe them out, could earn a ridge!"
The King declared with a royal wave,
"Clear our lands, be strong and brave!"

A knight in armor, shiny and bright,
Challenged a dragon to a noble fight.
But when he saw its fiery breath,
He ran so fast, he nearly met with death.

A wizard old, with a beard so long,
Tried a spell, but it went all wrong.
Turned his hat into a frog,
Which hopped away into the bog.

The rogues, the rangers, all came too,
With dreams of glory, and gold anew.
They fought with valor, day and night,
In Vassa's wilds, a thrilling sight.

One daring rogue, so sleek and sly,
Stole a dragon's egg, oh my!
The dragon roared, with fiery rage,
The rogue just shrugged, "It's just a stage."

A ranger bold, with arrows keen,
Fought a bear, huge and unseen.
He missed his mark, hit a tree,
The bear just laughed, "You can't catch me!"

Through forests deep, and mountains high,
They battled on, under the sky.
King Dragonsbane watched with glee,
"As they fight, our lands are free!"

At last, the beasts were all but gone,
The adventurers stood, tired but drawn.
King Dragonsbane, with a hearty laugh,
Said, "For your bravery, take this staff.

"And gold aplenty, for each deed,
For you've all fulfilled my greatest need.
Noble titles, lands so grand,
For those who've freed my beloved land."

The heroes cheered, their hearts so light,
For they had won an epic fight.
In Damara's lands, peace did reign,
Thanks to the might of King Dragonsbane!
What do you do?

GameMaster

In Damara's realm, where tales are spun,
King Dragonsbane sought some fun.
"A monster hunt," he loudly declared,
"Brave souls needed, if you're not scared!"

A wizard came, with a hat askew,
Tripped on his robes, a sight to view.
A rogue, so sly, joined the spree,
Climbed a tree, and couldn't get free.

The knight, so bold, in armor bright,
Chased his shadow, into the night.
A bard with a lute, a tune to strum,
Sang off-key, the monsters numb.

In Vassa's wild, they made their stand,
With shaky sword and trembling hand.
King Dragonsbane, with a chuckling voice,
Offered gold, and a noble's choice.

"Brave the wilds, be not faint!"
But our heroes, brave they ain't.
In Damara's court, they told their tale,
Of how they tried, but to no avail.

Yet Dragonsbane, with a hearty roar,
Laughed and said, "Come back for more!
For in my land, we love the jest,
Brave at heart, or just well-dressed!"
What do you do?

GameMaster

In Damara's court, a contest grand,
Bards from far and wide, a merry band.
King Dragonsbane declared with a smirk,
"Sing of monsters, your finest work!"

The first bard stepped up, with a lute so fine,
But his voice cracked, out of line.
He sang of dragons, fierce and great,
But forgot the words, oh such a fate!

The next was a lady, with a voice so clear,
But tripped on her gown, oh dear!
Her ballad of knights, brave and bold,
Turned to mumbles, timid, not sold.

A bard so young, with hair of gold,
Strummed his harp, confident and bold.
Yet his lyrics, oh so bland,
Had the crowd snoring, not as planned.

Then came a duo, with flutes in hand,
But their tune sounded like a rubber band.
They danced and twirled, a sight to see,
But the melody lost, in their own glee.

An old bard, with a beard so long,
Started well, but got it all wrong.
He mixed up tales, of ogres and elves,
Ended up singing about himself.

The crowd chuckled, the King in jest,
Watching the bards, doing their best.
In Damara's hall, the echoes rang,
Of off-key tunes and rhymes that sprang.

King Dragonsbane, with a hearty laugh,
Said, "Your tales, only half the chaff!
But in good fun, we find our cheer,
Thanks, dear bards, for bringing mirth here!"

So in the contest, where bards did vie,
Not a dry eye, under the sky.
For in their mishaps, and lyrical crimes,
They found joy, in simpler times.
What do you do?
